|b The paper explores the theme of mobility in Herman Melville’s works and argues that most of the featured journeys are escapist in nature. Valuing its recreational effect, Melville’s protagonists often seek travel as a temporary distraction from their deep malaise with the self. Paradoxically, however, the escapist journey frequently morphs into a zealous quest for completion, as flight from the self seems to allow the protagonists to get in touch with the very self that they are avoiding. Geographical travel is thus paralleled with a mental journey into the recesses of the human soul in search of enlightenment and transcendence. It is worth adding that this desired state of immutability is both tempting and repellent, for, despite its prospects of self-realization, it dreadfully menaces the quester with nothingness and death. Notwithstanding their wish to experience spiritual expansion, the characters find it impossible to succumb to this state of nonexistence. Mystified, they compulsively run away from it and engage in a new cycle of their never-ending escape-quest journeys.
